is there a windows 7 (64 bit) license key finder
Help.....
Is there a good way to track down my windows 7 license key. Every software key finder I have tried fails or is not reporting a correct key?

Yes,
We are not sure if that is reporting the correct key. We have three like systems that are all running Windows 7 that are all reporting the same license key, but the license key sticker on the box are diffrent keys? Magic Jelly Bean says it only supports up to Windows XP.

I may be wrong but most of the time when you buy a pc from say Dell they are installed using a image so they would all have the same key.

I was wondering about that, but the strange thing is I reloaded one of the boxes from scratch off from the CD, not the recovery partion and the key still reports the same? So that install would not be from an image.

Magic Jelly Bean does support Windows 7. It works on mine.
From the site;-
The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a freeware open source utility that retrieves your Product Key (cd key) used to install Windows from your registry. It allows you to print or save your keys for safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008, Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007 family of products. It also has a community-updated configuration file that retrieves product keys for many other applications. Another feature is the ability to retrieve product keys from unbootable Windows installations.

Thanks it reports the same key as magic jelly bean, which means Dell must use the same key for all these systems.
I just tried for belarc, I can approve it gives the license for Windows 7-Professional-64bit

nope, examine the screenshot, I go to the path for cscript then, run osinfo.vbs but I got the error in command prompt right now (I had opened it as administrator).

It stuck on your locale which shows Turkish locale code and you're using English locale if I get you right.
I will look into it. Thanks for reporting.
